Application lod October 8 Specication of Letters Patent.

'Patented March 24, 190s.

, 1907. serial no. 396,489.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDGAR M. QUINT, a. citizen of United States, residing at Concord, in the county of Merrimack, State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useu Improvements in Safety-Razors; and I do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description of t e invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention' has relation to the kind or type of safety-razors" that are provided with adouble edge blade fixed upon a bed that may be adjusted at any desirable angle.

The drawings hereto annexed form a part of this specification and are to be referred 'to as such. i

Fi re 1 is a front view of the razor showing t e blade and bed horizontally arran ed and adjusted at a right angle to the han le. Fig. 2 is an end view indicating by dotted lines different ad'ustments that may 'be made of the handle. Fi 3 is a back or bottom view of the bed-p ate and its associated parts. Fig. 4 is a side view of the bed-cap. Fi 5 1s a plan of the ard and bed-plate. ig. 6 is a vertical sectlonal view in the plane 6 6 of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a longitudina view, transversely of Flg. 6.

Similar characters ofreference designate similar parts or features, as the case may be, wherever they occur.

It is the purpose of my invention to provide improvements that will facilitate the inclination ofthe blade-holder to any inclination with respect to the handle that may be desired; also to render the blade more readily removable andreplaceable than heretofore, together with other advantages incidental to those mentioned.

In the drawings 1 designates the guard and bed-plate provided with teeth at its opposite edges upon which the double-edge razor 2 rests and u on which it is held by the cap-plate 3, Whic at its ends is rovided` with clamp hooks 4 (see Fig. 4) the s anks of which extend through the notches 5 in the ends of the guard-plate allowing the clam vhooks proper tol take over the ends of t e table 7 upon whichthe guard-plate 1 imme-v f diately rests. One ofthe corners at each end of the table 7 is rounded and thinned down, so .that swinging it on the pivot 8, when the hooks 4 4. of the cap plate 3 are in the position shown in Fi of the table will take uner the said hooks and draw plate 3 down on the razor resting on the guard-plate. The table and guardplate are connected at a central pointby a rivet 8, to allow the table to be swung around At a central point at the bottom of the table on each side of the rivet 8 are ears9 that project downward, the lower edges ofwhich are semicircular in form, and between said ears there is pivoted the upper end of a bolt, 10, as indicated at 11. The lower end of the bolt is threadedand tted in a screw-threaded socket 12 in the upper end of the handle 13, which latter is provided with a bead, 14, adapted to bear on the periphery of the flanges 9. It will now be seen thatb the turning of the handle to slightly loosen t e bearing of the bead 14 against the periphery of the ears 9 the razor can be set at any desired an le to the handle, and there fixed by vtig tening the handle on the bolt. By loosening the handle on the bolt to a greater extent, the blade and cap can be removed, releasing the several parts allowin of a thorou h cleaning of the parts or quie exchange of blades.

What is claimed is- 1. A safety razor comprising a guardplate, a table below the guard plate, a blade sup orted on the guard-plate, a blade cap on the lade provided at its ends with clampin means to extend below the guardplate an inward, taking over the ends of the table.

2. A safet -razor comprising a doubleedge uard-p ate having notches in its ends, a tab e below the guard-plate, a double-edge blade su ported on the uard-plate, a bladecap on he razor provided at its "ends with clamping hooks, the shanks of which extend through the said notches in the uardlate, the ends taking over the ends of t e tab e.

3. In a safety-razor, the combination with the bed and a double-edge razor supported thereon, a table supporting the uard-plate, a cap-plate on the razor connecte at its ends 3, the said ends' to release the guard, clamp-plate and razor.
